Explanation
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Writing one Msg to many Users. You can select a MSG-AREA. To do this, start
JLUTIL with the ? Parameter: eg. JLUTIL /MS ? If you are using '~', you
can write a NetMail to a single Receiver (His Name should have the
following format: UserName at Net-Node; eg: Juergen Lorenz at 803_000).
Receiver: Name at Net_Node
^---------------------- (_ instead of /)
The Receiver Menu:
You can pick up 2000 UserNames. JLUTIL checks, if there are any UserNames
twice. You can write the PickList to a File or get it from a file. You can
search for UserNames using a search pattern. You can sort the names and you
can edit the PickList. If you want, you can write a name and JLUTIL checks,
if the Name is a User. If he can't be found or he has been deleted, he will
be ignored.
This is very important for other Procedures of JLUTIL, which are using the
Message-Distribution Procedure of JLUTIL. If eg. the MCS wants to write to
'Sysop', but he couldn't find such an User, he will NOT write the MSG ! So
be sure, that you have filled out the third line of SYSOP.BBS correctly.
If you choose the Option Receiver, the Name will not be checked. So you
can write to ALL or to a user, who will log on the first time in a week.
UserLists:
Mailing-Lists have the Extension .@ML You can specify a Mailing-
List instead of a single Receiver at the DOS prompt.
eg. JLUTIL /MS E:\GT\MSG,Juergen Lorenz,Please register,
Level_Z.@ML,P,,PleaRgst.MSG
MSG-File and Editor:
You can distribute textfiles. Exit the Editor with a RETURN in the
first row of a column.

@INC Include the following File (eg. @INC TEST.DAT)
If you specify after the filename a ',1' like
@INC TEST.DAT,1
JLUTIL uses the MMR quoting mechanism.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use the MSG-SYSTEM with parameters :
eg. JLUTIL /MS E:\GT\MSG,Juergen,Welcome,NEW_USER,P,,WELCOME.MSG
NEW_USER stands for the name of a new User. You can also start
JLUTIL like
eg. JLUTIL /MS E:\GT\MSG,Juergen Lorenz,Welcome,,P,,WELCOME.MSG
Try it. It's great. If you put the following CommandLine into your
Autoexec.bat:
JLUTIL /MS E:\GT\MSG,MASTER CONTROL SYSTEM,BOOTING...,
YourName,P,,BOOT.MSG,Time,Date
every time the box is booting, you get a message from the MCS.
IF you have specified ED= within JL.CNF other than INTERNAL, then you
can use your own Editor.
